Pandemic Report: Ukraine

Three months of unremitting stupidity

It’s day whatever of Ukraine’s coronavirus disease (COVID-19) disaster and it’s only getting worse.

In a nutshell, the positive dynamics of morbidity over the last 90 days have been driven by pathological bad thinking, whacko algorithms, formulations of set theory without variables, kooky mitigation models for flattening the curve, magical epidemic thinking, irredeemable health officials, pandemic politics and false assumptions promulgated by poorly calibrated agents with bad ideas who abandoned the precautionary principle.

The result isn't unlike a horrible accident, except it’s been caused by an unemployed actor desperate for attention and applause. You want to laugh and be entertained, but you also want to avoid becoming a victim.

Where we go from here is anyone’s guess.
